You can watch me on Pit Boss this coming Thurs on Animal Planet (check listings, for right time but it says 3pm for me) Pit Bulls and Paintballs!

Synopsis: Shorty is the owner of a Talent Agency called Shortywood for Little people in Hollywood. Watch me as I try... well sorta, to get a job as Shorty's assistant in Shortywood.

Fun to shoot and the people were great to work with. I have so much fun improv'ing.

Cold Case

2010-03-30T18:42:00.000-07:00

Whew what a whirlwind this year has been thus far! First I have to say that I have fantastic friends here in LA. They gave me a wonderful surprise birthday party. So sneaky they were. It was a Thursday night but there were still about 15-16 people that came. Second I quit my job! Yes, even in this economy, lol. I am now working on my acting career full-time. I work much longer hours, but it is all in pursuit of something that I absolutely love and a product that I can really believe in - ME. I have been auditioning daily and am beginning to book work - in fact I have had to turn down a couple of opportunities because my schedule has become that full. I am currently seeking new representation, ie a commercial or theatrical agent or a respectable manager. I am looking for someone who will believe in me and what I can do, and provide the connections I need. If anyone has any connections no matter how small, let me know and I will pursue it. Thanks for everyone who has been supporting me this whole time and continues to give me hope for my future success.

Kalia will next be seen as a Hippie on Cold Case Sunday April 11th.

I'm An Aunt!

2009-06-16T09:05:00.000-07:00

Today is a Wonderful day... I became an Aunt!! Surprisingly it was a boy, so I don't know his name yet, but I am very excited to meet him one day soon. My sis-in-law Cecily went into Labor last night/early morning and by 11:30am MDT he was born - Yippee!! It is surreal, since I have been disconnected through most of the process, but I'm sure it will sink in when I hold him in my arms for the first time.

On another wonderful note my brother Brett has left for his mission. He was called to go to the Philippines and went into the MTC Weds June 10th. My sister Alicia was also called on a mission, and she will be going to Italy... Lucky! She leaves on July 15th.

My mom and sister Alicia came and visited me for a few days. It was fabulous and exhausting... so many things to see/do. I went home for almost a week to see my brother off and my pregnant sis-in-law; it was refreshing and fun.

Hope everyone else is making wonderful memories and living life to the fullest!

Mwah- Kalia

My Birthday & Disneyland

2009-03-12T09:04:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my Birthday and it was FABULOUS!! I went to Disneyland!!!! (it's Free on your b-day). I went with my best friend LiAna Dumas. It wasn't that crowded and it was a beautiful day. For dinner we went to the ESPN zone and they had my name on the Ticker Tape wishing me a Happy 20th Birthday!! It was great to see my name up in Lights. It was a perfect and wonderful day. (Pictures coming soon) I wish everyone could have as pleasant and purely happy a day as me. Thanks to all who sent me texts, calls, and wishes.

I Love You All!

Happy Valentine's Day

2009-02-11T09:04:00.000-08:00

Well...Happy New Year!

I know it's not exactly new anymore, but we decided it is fine to say at least until Valentine's Day. I am having a wonderful time learning the ropes of "real life". I am making mistakes and finding out new things every day. I don't think I could ask for a better/tougher place to discover things about myself and the world around me. I pray everyday for a better tomorrow for myself, my loved ones and the world. I know I seem very philosophical right now, but I believe in these tough times we can either face it or run, and I choose to take it head on.

Here's to the world and my family! And remember it can only get better unless we do nothing.

Merry Christmas 2008!

2008-12-08T09:03:00.000-08:00

Hey Friends -Merry Christmas!

I am enjoying the sunshine and warm weather, but am excited to go back to Idaho for a couple weeks of family, fun, and snow. Life is grand and I have great friends who make it fabulous. I'm hopeful for the future and a fantastic new year and wish everyone the same.

Love to all near and far, and know I'm thinking of you where ever you are!

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-30T09:01:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween! {:-D) -that's a pumpkin. Hope everyone is in a CREEPY-good mood. It's kinda hard for me, because I have always associated the chilly weather with this holiday, but it has been in the upper 90's here lately! So right now I'm not-so-much in the spooky mood. I don't know what I'm going to be yet, but hey in LA everyone is a character.

For those of you who are wondering my ankle is doing better. For those of you who don't know- a few weeks ago I was playing soccer and I came down on another player's foot. I couldn't stand up and a friend had to drive me home. I didn't see a doctor until several days later (I was being stubborn) and I found out that I have a doozy of a sprain. He said it's a "severe high ankle sprain", "more painful than a break and takes longer to heal". It has not been the funnest experience of my life, but I it actually has not been so bad either. I continue to learn fundamental principles like: patience, who my true friends are, and medical boots are more expensive than normal boots and you only get one at a time. But the most important lesson that people continually remind me of is- I shouldn't play soccer when I don't have insurance. : (

I am looking forward to a healthier brighter future and holiday season. I also hope that everyone is doing good things and praying really hard during this tumultuous election time.

Tragically Momentous Day!

2008-09-11T20:33:00.001-07:00

What a tragically momentous day! On a day like this it makes me grateful for every blessing I have, especially the loved ones who've touched my heart and have impacted me for the better every day. To every one of you I would like to say THANK YOU! I know that whatever I am and whatever I will be, is because of what you have invested in my life and shared with me. I love you all and wish I could tell you all in person. Maybe one day!

In the meanwhile -Life is great and I'm having a blast!! I becoming a better me, and learning new things about myself and how life and business really work. I have incredible friends who are there for me no matter what, and a wonderful group supporting from a distance. I am having fun living 10 mins from Hollywood where I go every weekend and enter the Sat Matinee raffle for WICKED. $25 tix for the front row -can't beat that. I've won a couple of times and it is way worth the effort! Work is hard sometimes, but not having money is worse. Thanks for all the emails and love. My prayers go out to you all. :^)

I'm Living My Dream!

2008-05-12T20:32:00.000-07:00

I'm now in LA! I have an apt, I'm making new friends, and I'm learning the lay of the land. I'm learning the hard way that everything costs at least twice as much as I'm used to, I have to buy water! -such a foreign concept. I'm also trying to furnish the apt, including furniture and appliances -ouch.

I now live in a tiny

room with a tiny tv watching watching whatever the antenae will pick up and using a vcr with vhs tapes cause they're cheaper. Well, I'm just excited to be here and working toward my dream. If anyone is curious, send me an email and I'll send more details -including my love life!?!

Happy B-Day to Me!

2008-03-12T20:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my B-Day and it turned out pretty good. I turned 19! For those of you confused, just give me a call and I'll explain it. I haven't had my party yet, and apparently nobody reads this website anyone cause no one called, so email kalia@kaliamarlu.com My plans are to leave for LA on April 7th. Good news -I bought a car! It's an Optima -A Kia from Korea for Kalia -haha. It's comfortable, drives well, and still under warranty. Now I need a place to stay and a job, though not necessarily in that order. Right now, I'm working on additional prospects for recording and training.

thanks to all who have supported me thus far and are just waiting to see me shine, it won't be long now. :D

Almost Ready to Move - NOT!

2008-02-16T21:04:00.000-08:00

I'm off to SoCal in about a month. Aaaahhh! I'm not exactly ready, but if anyone has sage advice, random comments, or cash awards please send them my way. I also am planning a party for the 8th of March and anyone that contacts me via email or phone will be invited personally by me. Also any prospects regarding men, jobs, or most importantly a CAR!! would also be considered. For future contact info keep this page bookmarked as a favorite and check it often.

I'm getting closer to Hollywood!

2008-01-14T08:28:00.000-08:00

Well, it's the New Year and I am getting ready to go to Hollywood. I still have a lot to do and am pretty anxious as well as excited. I have almost had a new car twice now, but it fell through both times. Oh well, the big van is better on the snowy roads. : ) I am going to miss so many of you and the smiles and encouragement you give. Please know that no matter where you are right now, I am thinking of you and hoping for the best to come your way in this wonderful New Year.

Smiles and Love,

The Music Man

2007-11-12T20:26:00.000-08:00

Hello Friends -I'm still in IF and getting pretty antsy. I am currently in the IFYAC production of The Music Man and having a great time. I love all my new friends -young and old. Thanks for the support and love. Remember who you are, and who I am. E-mail me, I feel friendless sometimes. No-I did not make it on American Idol, but I recently won an Un-idol competition as the worst singer -it was all an act, I promise. Hoping the best for all.

Potato Products of Idaho

2007-05-07T23:24:00.000-07:00

It's me again! I'm having a great time working at Potato Products of Idaho (PPI). [Yeah, I know Idaho & Potatoes, how cliche] I work many hours a week and have to commute from IF to Rigby everyday, but it is worth it. I'm trying to be healthy, but that of course is always an uphill battle. My knee is doing a ton better, I rarely notice it anymore, except when I go dancing ; ) No love of my life yet, but I'm keeping my eyes open. I miss everyone and wish I could give you all a big hug [HUG!!!] Sending my love and best wishes.

Happy New Year!

2007-01-30T23:24:00.000-08:00

I am starting out the New Year well. I have several job prospects, my knee is doing wonderfully (it's been 5 1/2 weeks :D), and I am ready to take on the world - almost. If anyone reads this, I have a new email address kalia@kaliamarlu.com so be the first to contact me and you'll receive a special prize (Yay!). I look forward to providing more specific info in the future but for now know that I love ya'll and am excited to talk to any human out there. Keep in touch.

Smooch - me

Graduation and Knee Surgery

2006-12-28T20:23:00.000-08:00

Well, the semester has ended. I GRADUATED!!! I received my BS and now have to go out into the big bad world. I will deeply miss all my friends and hope to keep in touch with all of you. I hope that Christmas was great for everyone, I was a little preoccupied -> FYI - I had knee surgery replacing my ACL and other stuff a week ago and I am recovering well, but it is not fun (don't recommend unless you have to ;) . I need to get a job and then work to earn money to start my life in LA. Any ideas, words of wisdom, or graduation presents should be sent as soon as possible. Lots of Love, email me!

BYU-Idaho Fun

2006-09-26T15:21:00.000-07:00

I'm back at BYU-Idaho and having a great time! I am working on two shows and looking for even more action. I love my new roomies and the apartment is great. I hope that the classes don't kick my butt and I can continue to have fun. I do get lonely sometimes, so everyone's welcome to come say Hi - American Manor F3 (just down the corner from the Kirkham). For those of you who cannot make it that far - drop me an email, or phone me at (208) 356-3714. I have to go and get ready for a soccer game. Lots of Love . . . K

Back to School

2006-08-24T09:00:00.000-07:00

I will be heading back to BYU-Idaho for (hopefully) one last semester. I will miss all of my friends and teachers in Rexburg, but I know that there is more for me to do out in the world.

Kisses and Loves to anyone that misses me, I miss you too.

P.S. I don't seem to have any friends who love me or at least send me email. :^( DO IT!

Film Actor's Boot Camp

2006-07-09T20:19:00.000-07:00

Film Actor's Boot Camp (FABC) at the Idaho Film and Television Institute (IFTI) was a blast. Kalia met many new friends and learned a ton. It was seven hard weeks, but she got to meet some of the awesomest teachers/professionals, and fellow students.
